Unlike before with The Puzzle Palace, this time the NSA cooperated with Bamford. Alarmed by Hollywood films like Enemy of the State that portrayed his agency as a ruthless cadre of assassins, the director of the NSA, Lt. Gen Michael V. Hayden, wanted the American public to have a more accurate picture of how the NSA functioned. In order to encourage better communication between the NSA and the press, Hayden granted Bamford unprecedented access to Crypto City (the NSA campus in Ft. Meade, MD), senior NSA officials, and thousands of NSA documents while he researched Body of Secrets. The NSA even hosted a book signing for Bamford on the grounds of Crypto City. It lasted more than four hours as hundreds of NSA employees lined up to have their copies of Body of Secrets autographed. (Ibid., Bamford’s profile from Random House)

It was only a matter of time before the NSA’s first manufactured whistle-blower was assigned the task of passing the proverbial torch to “Snowden” which is exactly what he has done in a new Wired magazine interview and accompanying Conde Nast promotional video.

“I was trained as a spy in sort of the traditional sense of the word, in that I lived and worked undercover, overseas — pretending to work in a job that I’m not — and even being assigned a name that was not mine... What they are trying to do is that they are trying to use one position to distract from the totality of my experience, which is: I’ve worked for the Central Intelligence Agency – undercover, overseas, I’ve worked for the National Security Agency – undercover, overseas, and I’ve worked for the Defense Intelligence Agency as a lecturer at the joint counter-intelligence training,” “Edward Snowden” from RT

I am currently working on a review of the first two episodes of Julian Assange’s new propaganda show called “The World Tomorrow” so what follows the break is just a sneak peak of what I am writing.

I have to say after finally forcing myself to watch the first two episodes that it’s far worse than I could have possibly imagined. Let’s get ready to round up the “international leftists” for American and Israel and do away with that silly “social safety net” that’s messing up all those lovely profits for the billionaires and crashing the economies of Europe and America… I kid you not.

The rolling psyop known as Julian Assange is not done with us just yet.

After serving as the CIA’s front-man for the distribution of phony intel for a couple years (and getting paid well for it) and then living like a king in an English mansion under “house arrest” for 500 days (while the patsy Bradley Manning is in lock down 24/7), now Julian is getting his very own interview based TV show.

And what pray-tell is going to be his focus? He’s going to tell us which new “revolutionaries” we can trust. He’s going to tell us which direction we should take our revolution. He’s going to tell us how “we can change the world” as the global reaction to neoliberal globalization is starting to take off.

He’s going to tell us what the world will be tomorrow (if you’re naive enough to listen to people like Julian Assange, I will tell you what the world will be tomorrow: it will be Chile under the dictator Pinoche, Indonesia under Suharto, Russia under Yeltsin, . And that’s a fact)

Julian Assange lives with a globalist billionaire in the heart of the new imperialist England and he’s going to tell us 99%ers what we should be doing and which “politicians, revolutionaries, intellectuals, artists and visionaries” we should trust and follow.

Anyone else see an inherent problem with that?

With yet another economic collapse just off the horizon and the Occupy Spring taking shape and the entire European continent rioting, you don’t think steering the boiling over dissident movement would be something that the CIA, NSA, and the State Department would be interested in, do you?

Peppered into the mix with information we already know, the CIA backed psyop called “Wikileaks” likes to toss out some pure disinformation which helps their various causes. In today’s case it’s nothing less than trying, once again, to connect 9/11 to Saddam Hussain in an obvious attempt to provide cover for the Bush administration’s illegal invasion of Iraq.

Back in April, the Weekly Standard (neocon shill rag) published an article titled “WikiLeaks: The Iraq-Al Qaeda Connection Confirmed, Again“. As the story goes, an Iraqi named Jawad Jabber Sadkhan was identified by others who were tortured (they leave that part out) as a key link between Saddam’s organization and al Qaeda, the Taliban, 9/11, the London Bombings,and of course let’s not forget… Iran.

A while ago I concluded that the hackivist group Anonymous was actually a front group for the NSA because of their unconditional support of the CIA backed psyop known as “Wikileaks”

Now Anonymous have shown their true colors. After trying to establish themselves a little counter-establishment street credit, they are now openly attacking Iranian servers, releasing emails that they have supposedly hacked from Iranian government sources (sounds kinda like the Wikileaks psyop doesn’t it?), and even produced this ridiculous video “warning” to Iran.

(According to the story, Wikileaks views the leaked material as their corporate property and any unauthorized “leak” will result in a 20 million dollar lawsuit for infringement on their property rights. yeah Greenwald, they are a legitimate whistle blower site. How could I have misjudged them so… ಠ_ಠ )

WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange now makes his associates sign a draconian nondisclosure agreement that, among other things, asserts that the organization’s huge trove of leaked material is “solely the property of WikiLeaks,” according to a report Wednesday.

“You accept and agree that the information disclosed, or to be disclosed to you pursuant to this agreement is, by its nature, valuable proprietary commercial information,” the agreement reads, “the misuse or unauthorized disclosure of which would be likely to cause us considerable damage.”

The confidentiality agreement (.pdf), revealed by the New Statesman, imposes a penalty of 12 million British pounds– nearly $20 million — on anyone responsible for a significant leak of the organization’s unpublished material. The figure is based on a “typical open-market valuation” of WikiLeaks’ collection, the agreement claims.

It never ceases to amaze me how powerful a tool identity politics has become since they started marketing celebrity personalities like triple “A” rated financial products.

The newest “must have” thing on the market isn’t a widget or an app, it’s affirmation. As things get worse in this country, as people become more confused about what is happening and afraid for their future, affirmation will be an easier sell than ice cubes in hell.

Everyone wants to know what they feel in their heart is right while all around them hell-hounds are baying at their heels.
